Answer: antimycin A is more potent than rotenone.Rotenone only inhibits electrons flow into the election transport chain at Complex 1 (electrons from NADH are restricted) Complex II (electrons for fatty acyl-CoA and FADH2) does not get affected by rotenone and so even though ETC becomes slow it does not stop completely.
